Que vamos a Hacer?

Skizoo's song 'Que vamos a Hacer?' delves into the complexities of human relationships and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics reflect a sense of regret and introspection, as the narrator grapples with past mistakes and the transient nature of their experiences. The opening lines, 'No hay de qué arrepentirse si después / Con la misma piedra tropezamos otra vez,' suggest a cyclical pattern of errors, emphasizing that life is ephemeral and mistakes are inevitable.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and defiance. Lines like 'Álzate sin miedo álzate contra el terror establecido' encourage standing up against established fears and societal norms. This call to action is juxtaposed with the uncertainty of the future, as seen in 'Puede ser que mañana ya no esté / Hoy pendo de un hilo que yo mismo cortaré.' The narrator acknowledges the fragility of their existence, hanging by a thread they might cut themselves, yet they urge to rise against fear.

The chorus, '¿Qué vamos a hacer? / Tuvimos todo en nuestras manos / Algo que estuvo tan cerca y hoy tan lejos,' captures the essence of lost opportunities and the longing for what once was. The imagery of fire and the sky, 'El fuego que tu y yo encendimos / es la razón profunda por la que ardemos' and 'El cielo que tu y yo inventamos / es la razón profunda por la que caemos,' symbolizes both the passion and the downfall of their relationship. The song is a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the struggle to find meaning in the face of impermanence.

The repeated questioning of '¿Qué vamos a hacer?' underscores the uncertainty and search for direction, making the song a powerful exploration of human emotions and existential dilemmas.
